    mine stopped doing that weeks ago. I believe the glitch is fixed. NM

    Mine was before I became an MT. I used to have to write

    a lot, using a lot of fine motor grip, took maybe 2 years.  Typing doesn't bother me unless I do a 12 hour day, but then with rest it is usually better.


    I suggest wearing a splint/splints to bed because you may bend your wrists in your sleep and that will contribute to the problem.  Keeping them straight really helps.  My orthopod recommended 15 minute soaks - cold, hot, and then cold again.


    I recommend lowering your keyboard tray if possible and putting a pillow in your lap and then the keyboard on your pillow.  This helps take a lot of the stress off.  I also find that I sit straighter with my back pressed against the back of my chair.   If that doesn't work for you put a towel, folded at least once, under your keyboard on your tray and that will help take some of the stress off also, though not as much as the pillow.  If you use a normal-sized bed pillow there is enough pillow to also rest your wrists on and to me is just more comfortable than having an edge of  the wrist pad.  I couldn't get used to a gel one.   If you are using a mouse have it on your keyboard tray where you don't have to bend your wrist as much to use it.


    There are vitamins/supplements that are supposed to help  too.  I'm sorry I can't remember when they are but you can Google it. 


    My last surgery was 17 years ago and I find that when I grip things, like a rake when doing yard work that my wrists hurt, but it doesn't hurt when I type, different muscles I guess.   I have lost some strength in my hand.  I was the one that always opened the jars no one else could and now I'm not able to open them.


     


    WRITE TO HBO to keep it on for years....*S*...nm

    Buy if from your husband. Have him write you a receipt. Write it off completely or
    depreciate it over a few years.
    Mine have done that for years

    I have had many doctors want this on their reports.  I think that they feel legally it covers them should there be an error but I doubt that it would. One more line for me to count that I don't type. 


    I also have two docs that do read their reports and they let me know when I do make an error, nicely but they let me know which I appreciate.

    I divorced mine 15 years ago and he....sm

    He has not changed those passive aggressive ways......he got remarried about 5 years ago and I feel very sorry for his new wife.


    However, I stay far, far away from him........passive aggressive men can be and some are very dangerous............


    oh and horses don't change colors.............LOL

    A friend of mine has been on it for over 7 years...sm
    and swears by it. He has stayed very trim and his cholesterol is fine. I would like to lose about 10 pounds and thought about trying it, but i love carbs, so don't know if I have the willpower.
    Seems to be about right. Mine all lasted a few years, too. nm

    To your "seasoned" 18 years and mine at 33 and counting,
    and with those years behind you, did you tell her what you thought about this is not just a job you do because you are at home with nothing else to do, take care of the kids, walk the dogs, did you clue her in on she would need some background. To me some of these posts sound like it is a job just made in heaven for anyone who does not want to leave home to have a job. Takes lot more than that.
    does anyone know the lifespan for a footpedal. Mine seems to be seeing its last day after 5 years.

    Nope. Let mine drop years ago.

    How long does your battery last?
    Mine only lasts for two hours and then takes about 45 minutes to recharge to 100% when I plug it in to electric.
    How often do you have to change the battery sm
    in the receiver? The specs say operating time is greater than 4 hours (receiver). Does this mean you would have to change the battery every day?
    What is the best battery backup for a computer? nm
    mn
    I use a APC ES-500 with 30 minute battery time - sm
    I think it was about $60. Best money I ever spent. We don't have a lot of power outages here but every now and them have a lot of flickers which noramlly would kick off the computer. I no longer have to worry about that, and lost work if I had not saved recently.
    Start with a battery change.
    This really sounds like a battery problem. They start wearing out and the sound drops off well before they die.

    Just change the battery. Don't worry about being thought weird . . . you can't do good work on his reports if you can't hear them. It's ok for you to let him know that something is wrong.

    If a new battery doesn't help, try a new tape. Old tapes get icky.

    My UPS has an estimated battery time of 19 minutes
    which gives me enough power to finish the report I'm working on and shut down my computer correctly.
    Change your battery. Also, some antivirus, screen savers,

    and system utilities can cause computer time clock loss.

    Yes, I am a complete computer dummy, but where is the battery and can I replace it myself?

    what model/make battery backup do you use for computer? nm
    nm
    Mouse included in the package lit up right after battery insertion. No on lights
    come on when the batteries are inserted and power button doesn't do a thing. Power isn't being transmitted to keyboard for some reason.
    A laptop, wireless router or a card from say Sprint, good battery
    you could work anywhere. Being wireless has great benefits, say if you are in the hospital, dying, why you could make a few bucks to pay for the funeral.


    Best battery backup with a reasonable amount of time - just lost report when elec blinked Grrrr

    I might have fixed it....
    After I was able to get the links to show up again, I then saved the page in "Favorites" (deleted my old link that was there) and now when I click on it from my favorites, the links are continuing to show up on the left side/blue area - so far. LOL. We will see if this lasts now. :D
    I really think it is fixed! sm
    I tried voting for Chris on Tuesday night and I could NOT get through at all! I honestly believe that they did not want to send Katherine home because that has the potential of losing the male audience! How many guys sit around and want to watch 3 guys sing? I truly, in my heart and soul, think the entire thing is bogus. Although, he is really and truly talented and I think he will definitely be selling records in the near future, which I will gladly buy!!!!! JMO HE SHOULD HAVE WON IT ALL!!!!
    Thank you so much... I fixed it.

    It's Fixed Now!
    Thanks for notifying.

    MTStars Support Team.
    Thanks we fixed it.
    It was on my kids computer; not mine.  My daughter was playing a game, and the letter keys wouldn't work.  It's a Logitech Cordless (cheapo) and I downloaded software from the site, and then my son pulled the plug on the optical eye, plugged it back in, and it now works!  Thanks....  Everyone!!!! 
    OE problem fixed!

    Just wanted to let you know that I just did a restore (a quick 10 minute fix) and my OE works fine again! Apparently I had some corrupted files. I was very hesitant on trying this in fear of files I might lose (particularly work ones) but everything appears fine so far.


    I am just So upset that I wasted SO many hours  trying to fix this!


    Here's how I fixed that...not to say it will work for you.
    I work as an IC for a large service. I went through the misery for about two weeks after getting a new doctor who was either too lazy or too clueless to give the demographic information needed. I swear that I spent as much or more time looking up old reports if the dictation was for a followup, etc., as I did typing the darn report. I said forget this. Every time he left out the SS#, MR# number, DOB, or did not spell a name, I used my highlighter on the tool bar and typed in "not given". It took him about one week of getting reports back to his office where one of the office staff had to look the info. up or give the report to doctor to fill in missing information. I made him as irritated as he made me. About one week later, and to this day, he very rarely misses any pertinent info. I ran this through the MTSO before I highlighted, and explained to her that when I ran my own service, there is no time or tolerance for doctors who fail to give pertinent information on an important medical record. Any MTSO who pressures you otherwise to waste your precious time on this is not worth working for! Good luck to you!
    If not identified, it will never be fixed!
    I don't want to crucify them for making an error.  I want the error to be known, noted, and corrected in future editions! I also want to be aware of any other known errors in this publication so I will not bilindly follow the book and make the errors they are providing, considering I have PAID for their PROFESSIONAL guidance!!   Is that unreasonable?
    Fixed wireless.
    Has anybody had any experience with this. We have a company providing this close by. We only have dial-up and satellite has such bad reviews. I am trying to research any possibility.
    Fixed wireless
    I looked into this in IL when I lived for a short time in a rural area -- VERY expensive and if you rent, its a hole and mounting "a permanent structure" -- also, you are locked into a contract with that as well and not everyone has radio towers available or in the area -- frankly, the newer cards are a better alternative.
    Hey, got it figured and fixed!
    I went to the Nuance/Dictaphone web site and looked at their information base and lo and behold, there was the problem and solution. Apparently it's common with Windows XP or 2000 and they recommend a particular file download, DPVoicer1132.exe. I did that and ran it and after rebooting, problem fixed!

    Thought maybe an update might help someone doing a search on here in the future.
    I FIXED IT... see link...
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA101055371033.aspx#1 I followed these instructions, and wahlah!!! :)

    I will print your suggestion as well. I watched a demo on Word earlier and it is so "full" (for lack of a better word). I am so impressed with this edition!!

    Thanks to all!!

    macro - fixed
    between windows & mac, something got squashed in the file name reference. Let's see if it pastes cleanly now.

    Make sure you create a text file c:
    eplacetext.txt and put the entries in the format specified

    findthis|replacewiththis
    teh|the
    mjsmithx|Michael J. Smith, MD,
    HIPPA|HIPAA
    etc....

    Note - if you want to change the file name or location, change the corresponding OPEN statement in the macro below. Also, if you want to change the delimiter character from the hardcoded (single pipe) value to something else, change the delimchar line below and the text file accordingly.

    You can insert this into a module in your normal document template -- or in a specific document or template if you don't want it in Normal -- post here if you need more details

    This will run through every entry in the text file and make the corresponding replacement in the target document.


    Sub replacemulti()

    Dim TextRaw, FindText, ReplaceText As String

    Dim delim As Integer
    
Dim delimchar As String

    
delimchar = "|"                 'Must be a single character for this version.

    Open "c:
    eplacetext.txt" For Input As #1    ' Open the find/replace source file.

    Do While Not EOF(1)             'Loop until end of file   
    Line Input #1, TextRaw      'Read file, one line at a time
   
    delim = InStr(1, TextRaw, delimchar, 0) 'Get the position of the delimiter
    
 FindText = Left(TextRaw, delim - 1) 'FindText = text to left of delimiter
    ReplaceText = Mid(TextRaw, delim + 1, Len(TextRaw))  'ReplaceText = text to right of delimiter
    'Do the replacement

    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
    
    With Selection.Find 
    .Text = FindText
    .Replacement.Text = ReplaceText

    .Forward = True
       
    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
    
        .Format = False
    
        .MatchCase = True
    
        .MatchWholeWord = True
    
        .MatchWildcards = False

            .MatchSoundsLike = False
    
        .MatchAllWordForms = False

        End With
    
    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    Loop

    Close #1    ' Close file.

    End Sub

    Thanks all. I got it fixed but have no idea how. Think it had to do with my keyboard though! nm

    Fixed wireless works well
    If you're talking about tower wireless (like a radiowave wireless type), as long as you have it set up to receive the signal well (requires high enough antenna)then you should have a nice, clean connection.

    problem with mail fixed
    This morning when we tried to download our messages, nothing downloaded. We tried our WebMail function, and got a "Unidentified Server Error". So we thought attglobal.net was temporarily down. Waited till 10 am, and still the same. We call AttGlobal support, and they got things back. Sorry for the inconvenience.
    I just got fixed wireless broadband
    And I love it! No lag like satellites. I thought I'd never get broadband since I'm a mile from the nearest house but this is a very nice connection.
    Obviously it is not fixed if Norton keeps detecing it...

    mine keeps detecting it as well.  It will stop for a couple of days and then start in again.


    I would like to know what the "glitch" is exactly...


    No, had that fixed a long time ago!

    No CAD for me, will buy my own CABG. 


    At an old job we could return work we did not want, but then they fixed their platform so you could
    so it is probably only a matter of time before all companies do that, smart thing to do but yes it does cut into your paycheck if you get a horrible run of bad ESLs.
